The thing that kills me is that I can see SO MANY things to do with Finn. He’s a trained Stormtrooper. He was taken from his family. He’s had an arc in the previous two episodes that involve first learning to look beyond saving his own hide and reacting from fear, to being proactive to protect the ones he loves.

Spot on. It felt like this is where Rian was aiming the ship, but I think JJ and the RoS writers just fell too much in love with the Kylo/Rey arc at the expense of everything else

Regardless of anyone’s feeling about the character, what they did to Marie Tran in particular was extraordinarily fucked up. I’m furious for Boyega, too, obviously.

When I went to see the first movie and they did the big reveal that he was actually Johnny Depp the whole time, you could actually hear the whole theater groan. Collin Ferrell had been killing it, and then they’re like, “Surprise! It’s this zany guy you all know and love!” Actually kept me from seeing the sequel.

If…

Now if only Warners could remove Rowling.

If the Warrens and Ghostbusters made this list, what about Scoob & the gang?  They were snubbed hard.

...no, they were never real, because none of the stuff they hunted was real.

No demons, no ghosts, no possessions.

If you mean they started off as true believers and then became willful scammers, I suppose that’s possible, but only they could have confirmed or denied that, and as far as I know they never did during…

I said this in 2016 when I thought Clinton was probably going to win, but it’s even more terrifying now - even if Trump loses, the almost half of Americans who were willing to support and vote for him through everything we’ve seen over the last 4 years will still be there, throughout the country, and running various…

Elmo: Taste My Pleasures (A Very Special Cenobite Adventure)

Ah yes, 1, 2, 3, 4, 4, 4, 5 is the spookiest way to count to 6.

As someone who lived through it, also in the South, I can tell you that it didn’t come out of any one incident. The evangelical community has pretty much always believed that Satan is hiding behind every tree. But the popularity of movies like The Exorcist and The Omen during the 70s, the growth of interest in the…

Pretty much. The internet has abandoned nuance entirely.

Seriously. How has WP not gotten a third series yet?

I live less than 10 miles from Disneyland and I am consistently appalled by the lack of safety standards Orange County citizens maintain. This is rough for the jobs of those that worked the park, but keep it shut down please. I’m not always in agreement with Gavin Newsom, but in this case his stubbornness is in all of…

No AV Club, I do not want to sign up for your news letter.

To build upon the unimportance of the machine actually functioning, Tesla makes a real, effective cloning machine and Hugh Jackman is so caught up in one-upping Christian Bale that he uses it for magic tricks instead of...I dunno, ANYTHING YOU COULD USE A CLONING MACHINE FOR that would be infinitely more lucrative and…

Who doesn’t love a good Gerard Butler disaster movie?

So nightcore is basically this generation’s Alvin and the Chipmunks. I can dig it. I liked the chipmunk version of songs ever since I saw the movie in the 80s.
